Prediction: 2-1

Bristol City

Brentford have been struggling to find their best form at the very start of the season. The Bees suffered a 1-0 loss to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the opening match of the season and despite taking the lead in Saturday’s football match against Nottingham Forest, Dean Smith’s men eventually suffered a loss to the Reds at their Griffin Park. Brentford are desperate to get back on course and Tuesday’s game against Bristol City is of big importance for the hosts. Summer signing Neal Maupay came as a substitute and scored in the 4-3 loss to Forest and the former Brest attacker should be recalled to the starting line-up. The Robins, on the other hand, outplayed Barnsley in their opener, but Birmingham City proved to be a big catch for the team at the weekend. Taking everything into account, the Bees want this win more than their rivals and we predict that they will pick up all three points from the game.

Highligted Player (Andreas Bjelland):

Andreas Bjelland is a Danish footballer who plays for Brentford. Bjelland plays at centre back and he started his professional career in 2006. After spending three seasons at Lyngby, Bjelland joined yet another Danish outfit Nordsjaelland in 2009 and he went on to make a total of 72 appearances for the Wild Tigers. On 6 November, 2011, Bjelland signed a four-year deal with Twente but he made no more than 14 appearances for the club on his debut season due to injury. After spending six months on the sidelines with a broken metatarsal, Bjelland returned to contention and he came back fit for the 2013/2014 Eredivisie campaign. The Danish defender played in 33 games for Twente in the 2013/2014 season, while making 26 appearances for the club in his last season (2014/2015) at De Grolsch Veste. On 2 July, 2015, the highly rated centre-back joined Championship side Brentford and he has been playing for the Bees ever since. The Danish footballer, though, suffered a groin injury in pre-season and, as a result, he did not make his Brentford debut in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign.

Highlighted Team (Bristol City):

Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby. Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909. The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
